VN - Ren'Py - Imperial Bureaucracy Hero [v0.3] [Munitions Mori]

IBH is building up to be a masterpiece of an AVN, but it isn't porn.

Every bit of the game is in service to the whole. The art, music, characters, various stories, and locations all work together to paint a bigger picture, the details of which you help fill in with your choices and traits. Sex is a respite from the slow grinding down of an ancient interstellar empire; sometimes it is more than that, but sex is not even close to all there is.

The game is driven by prose well beyond what you are used to in AVNs. The writing is of the caliber of actual novels. It grounds the other elements and propels an appreciative reader forward.

Its art style is upfront, just what you see in the promos, nothing prettier. This isn't an unblemished soundstage. It's a place where the few moments of beauty are earned and more striking for their scarcity.

There is a scene where you talk on a warf while the sun sets. As you read, the sky slowly, subtly changes, until it's dark. It's simple, and it is a wonderful moment full of potential.

The soundtrack is a pleasant surprise. It is well chosen and builds tone (instead of just filling in the silence). Sometimes, I will just leave the game on and listen to it.

Overall, a very fulfilling experience.

3 is fair.

The writings is of course of a quality beyond most if not all other wegs on the site.

However,

It shrivels my scholng like a brisk December morning.

I really detest this kind of approach to a game. Making the portraits intentionally ugly and haggish for "le art" is juvenile.

You are making a porn game my friend. If you wanted to make a pure VN (and I believe you have this potential), have some balls and make something pron free, slap it up on steam, and see how things go.

But this is a common thing, among talented-thus-popular porngakas and mangakas alike, where they resent having to stoop so low to garner an audience.

You cannot have it both ways. Nothings more annoying than an a prostitute that wants to be respected like an abbess.

If you're going to be a whore and whore out your (not inconsiderable) talents, be a whore. Be a proud whore, have fun with it.

If you want to be a respectable auteur, drop the coom.

In the latter case, hopefully the popularity you've seen up until now is enough. Drop the project, drop the insecurity, drop the derivate (DE + 40k) stuff you thought you needed to make it, and drop the coom.

If you're a Dionysian and just want to collect a check and take it easy, make it actual porn instead of a New Yoker cartoon. We're here to beat off guy.

When rating this I really had to stop and think for a minute to figure out what to rate it. A lot of people seem to like this game, primarily because of 40k. As a person that is not heavily into 40k, I wasn't biased towards it one way or another.

A lot of effort has been put into this game, so it deserves some credit for that. But personally it didn't do much for me. For me the story was rather boring and the "scene's" were rather dull and unchallenging, like you already know if you pick a certain dialog, it will trigger a scene and there is no effort needed to get there. It's almost like the dev says "Oh you want this one?" "yeah yeah, go ahead", "this one too?", "I got you".

And the images are kind of take it or leave it, they are not great by any stretch of the imagination. It's always 2 or 3 images like in a slide show and the MC comes inside and it's over.

Would only recommend playing if you like reading and 40k. I'm giving it a 3/5 for the effort put into the game. I myself would not play this again.

3/5

A fantastic homage to 40K that explores an oft-neglected part of the setting. The dialogue and decision system is pleasantly varied, the various NPCs well-written and the sex scenes rather sweet. Looking forward to seeing the full release, would love to purchase it if the quality persists.

This is the first porn game to make me care more about the story than the porn. I keep forgetting it is in fact a porn game to the point where the sex scenes are taking me off guard. If the creator of the game ever reads this review, please know that you are a unique talent and any non-nsfw game you make would surely be just as much of a masterpiece. I am honestly blown away. Who cares about jacking off? This writing is fucking fire!!!

I wish this wasn't a porn game so that I could actually recommend it to people. The writing and world building is amazing, in my opinion better than even Disco Elysium, which I have heard greatly credited for both things. It's better as a Warhammer story than most of the trash GW has put out in most year. The art is a little weak, but I really don't care about that and to the degree I do care it's enjoyable. All in all this is probably the best "game" on this site, though there's better porn.

It's pretty rare that I'll find a porn game where I prefer the story to the porn, but God everything about this game just clicks with me so much. Pretty much everything in this game works for me the music, the vibes, the art, the fact that I actually care about the characters even after short interactions.

The only think I don't like about this game is that there isn't even more of it yet and that just means I will be watchful and grateful for every future update.

A haunting experience of sorrow, beauty, despair and hope that will remain with you. Fragile, passing moments of warmth and humanity, flickering against cold and dark night. You strive and fight and dream, dancing on a decaying body of an inhuman empire that destroys itself in it's impossibly long agony, crushing worlds and lives and souls under it's pointless, immeasurable weight...

Really good so far. The characters actually resemble real people, unlike most of the other porn games I have played. The art complements the setting and atmosphere really well. Same goes for the soundtrack.

Also, I would follow sister Syrene to hell and back.

Amazing game which really puts you in the (not)WH40k universe. Really atmospheric and nails down both the bleakness and some of the silliness of the GrimDark future perfectly.
I would play this game even without the porn.

Arguably the best game on this site and truly deserving of 5 stars. Superb writing that exceeds all expectations, great art, great characters, everything was awesome. Probably the only game on this site I would play even without anything nsfw and one of the few games here that made me feel something emotional. Epic.

Also I'm not big into 40k but I feel like this game really does it justice and it makes me want to consume more 40k content.

This game has an excellent 40k vibe, it's so well done. The roleplay options are great. It reminds me of the best parts of Rogue Trader. You can do geniune good for people, sometimes in very heartwarming moments. Or choose to be as cruel or indifferent as you please. Keep your eyes upon the Emperor, or never raise your gaze. The characters are all really interesting and the dialogue is on point. The inclusion of the different facets was aces. Reminds me of Disco Elysium. It adds so much color and perspective (as well as actually really helpful explanations). Well done, absolutely. The facets also give the feeling of having companions, in a weird sort of way, but it's all just thoughts. I was very surprised by this game and I've really enjoyed it. Keep it up, Munitions Mori! I look forward to seeing how this great story progresses!

Absolutely fantastic. Love the theme, the writing, the world building – I'd play a full RPG, watch a full series, or even read a book set in this world. The h-scenes in comparison are a little plain, but that's very minor quibble.

This is an excellent game which immerses you into the environment with excellently thematic art, well thought out worldbuilding, and great prose. It also doesn't slack in giving plenty of opportunities to jerk it

Filled with excellent art, superb writing and hella sexy women all wrapped up in a horrifying dystopia.

A visual novel where most choices you are given have no immediate changes on the world outside of some character dialogue or extra scenes. However the seeds for such things are there but it will take a long time for development to reach that stage at its current pace.

Don't let that drive you away though this game is a master class in writing and worldbuilding even without prior 40k knowledge. I have nothing bad to say about this game which is really quite rare for me. I prefer more interactivity in H scenes but this game is not trying to fulfill that and I still enjoyed it immensely. Well worth playing and checking up on.

I want to preface that I know very little Warhammer 40k lore and this game is still an absolute gem. It feels very polished for the around 5-8 hours of content that there is. The 'Disco Elysium'-style traits are well executed, they add just the right amount of flavour into the experience and I enjoyed the similar writing style.

Would play this even without the nsfw parts. One of the best representations for the grim dark vibe.
The story is good, the oppressive, slimy grimdark vibe is here, different routes you can take, allot of content. All around awesome game.

Did I just stumble upon a masterpiece wtf.. Game so good I was skipping the porn scenes to get back to the story. Author, what are you doing on porn sites !!! You are undoubtedly talented. Many published writers don't write like this. For a porn game, the prose this person wrote is nuclear lmao. Comparing this game to some other adult games legit feels like atomic warhead vs coughing baby.

Do us all a favor and write a book or something. I don't know much about Warhammer or Disco Elysium but you could definitely write for Fallen London. You might actually clear some of their writers and they have some elite talent. Top tier shit, thank you for blessing us with this

I always wanted a Disco Elysium sequel so this is probably the best i'll get. I've often pondered which settings make sense for the Disco Elysium mechanics and Warhammer 40k is a perfect fit. Great job with the world building. I couldn't stop reading.

Character designs are fabulous. Sex scenes less so.

Porn is pretty sparse, not difficult to find, but there's a lot of the most important aspect of this game in between them; The story.
And by god does this have a story.
Clearly heavily inspired by 40k, but the author has done SO much work creating alternative names for the basically made up jargin that GW does for 40k, But in French origin. Which also leads me to speak of it's Other clear inspiration, Disco Elysium, which is set in a Very heavily French inspired world.
You have to choose between "Facets", which are basically personality choices that lead to different dialogue and possible outcomes, depending on your choice in Facets, Very similar to your choice in Skills for DE, though significantly stripped down from the 24 skills to 6. 3 Majoris, 3 Minoris. But there are also other Facets you cant choose from that still speak up from time to time.
I am not angry in the slightest about the relatively small amount of porn in a porn game, because there is so much thought put into writing the story and characters. Especially when the author writes characters that are basically just throwaway's, even having dialogue stating you will never see them again. But they had such touching short stories around them that you will remember them regardless.
I only wish it could be closer to what Disco Elysium was like, like if the Facets and other characters were voiced, like in Disco Elysium. I doubt this author has the money to hire the VA of the Skills from DE, or if they would even take a job for a pretty small unknown porn game. And, pardon me for saying, there is a LOT of dialogue of the Skills from DE, that I'm Sure someone could train an AI voice to replicate some of them that might fit the Facets.
This game is a Must play.
